I am about to upload the latest version of my app to the App Store, however up until this point I haven't done a whole lot of testing on iOS 7.
When I go to use the simulator, I am getting the error:
iPhone 4S is not available: Please select a different device and try again.
My deployment target is set correctly to 7.0.
Has anyone experienced this error? Any solutions?
Make sure you have the iOS 7 simulators installed. Navigate to Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads -> Components and make sure the 7.0 and/or 7.1 simulators are downloaded. If there are check boxes next to each simulator, click "Check and install now" to see if any simulators need to be re-downloaded.
For those running Yosemite
The earliest simulator runtime supported on Yosemite is 7.1.
In XCode, from the menu, select: Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> iOS Simulator
When sim is open from the menu, select: Hardware -> Device -> Manage Devices...
Click the + button, bottom left and add the devices/OSes you need.

I'm getting message "This operation can fail if the version of the OS on the device is incompatible with the installed version of Xcode. You may also need to restart your mac and device in order to correctly detect compatibility." when I try to run an Xcode iOS project on my iPhone 8. I'm using Xcode 13.2.1 and iOS 15.4 on my iPhone 8.
I've tried the different solutions given in other posts here on stackoverflow, but I haven't been able to fix the problem. This one seems to be the latest identical question, just with previous versions of Xcode and iOS.
This post in this forums gives the solution to restart the iOS device and I did that and also restarted the mac. My Mac has macOS Monterey 12.3. My Xcode, Mac, and iPhone 8 all have the most recent updates. That post gives an answer for the same problem but with iOS 15.2.
I have recently changed settings in my iPhone 8 in Accessibility. Could that affect anything?
I found this error in the Xcode console for my device. Does this say anything about my problem?

Check /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ for directory name 15.4 (your iOS version).
If the directory is missing download support files for 15.4 (your iOS version) from https://github.com/filsv/iPhoneOSDeviceSupport and place it in the above path.
Restart Xcode.
Solution : Reboot iPhone.
I have the latest version of :
iOS
Xcode
Still was not able to run the app on my device.
Solution that worked for me: simple iPhone restart
Following solution work for me
First check compatibility version for xcode with iOS version from following https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/
Now check the list of devices support to your Xcode from 'Device Support'
To get into 'Device Support' :: Open Finder -> Applications -> Scroll to Xcode -> Right Click -> Show Package Contents -> Contents -> Developer -> Platforms -> iPhoneOS.platform -> DeviceSupport This is the list of devices folder support for your Xcode
Now check for your iOS version from iPhone device :: Open Settings from iPhone -> General -> About -> Software Version
If the 'Device Support' folder does not contains the folder of your iPhone iOS Version, then you need to add respective folder from following link https://github.com/iGhibli/iOS-DeviceSupport/tree/master/DeviceSupport
From above Github page, select device version & download zip file
Now extract file & you will get the folder for your iOS version
Copy this folder into Finder -> Applications -> Scroll to Xcode -> Right Click -> Show Package Contents -> Contents -> Developer -> Platforms -> iPhoneOS.platform -> DeviceSupport
Disconnect device (if connected), restart xcode
Before connecting device, delete derived data from xcode & clean cache using cmd + shft + k. Then make sure to reset 'Location & Privacy' from device :: From iPhone device go to Settings -> General -> Transfer or Rest Phone -> Reset -> Reset Location & Privacy -> Enter passcode to continue
Now connect your iPhone device with macbook (through cable), xcode will detect your device & you can run your application
https://stackoverflow.com/a/72143610/15716725
for Xcode 13.2.1, and running on the device with iOS version 15.5
https://github.com/filsv/iOSDeviceSupport/blob/master/15.5.zip
download this zip and extract it into
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ for directory name 15.5 (your iOS version).
and restart the xocode
I installed iOS 16.0 beta and faced this message on Xcode.
This operation can fail if the version of the OS on the device is
incompatible with the installed version of Xcode.
In my case, I enabled developer mode on the device, and it worked.
You can follow this path for activating developer mode on your iOS device.

For all of you having problem with iOS 15.7 on device. Apple is aware of it.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-14-release-notes
Xcode 14 cannot be used with iOS 15.7 for development. (99847608)
There is workaround for it
Workaround: Use Xcode 13.4.1 with iOS 15.7.
I'm using Xcode 13.2.1 and iOS 15.4 on my iPhone 8
That's the problem. Your Xcode is incompatible with your iPhone system. Update to Xcode 13.3.
My Xcode, Mac, and iPhone 8 all have the most recent updates
No, they don't.
I have the same problem after "updating" both iPad and MacOS
They worked before but now no.
After update complete they are both asking to be updated again.
Currently at 12.3 for macOS and 15.4 for iOS
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ lists 15.2 as highest.
Once again let down by Apple's engineering teams. "Just works". Nope!
My iPhone was 15.5, and I checked /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport, there is no such 15.5, then I noticed update notification for Xcode in AppStore, which is said Version 13.4.1 - Xcode 13.4.1 includes SDKs for iOS 15.5, ..., then I just need to execute Xcode update
I actually downloaded the 15.5 version and renamed it as 15.6, I have also done this before when I was using the iOS 11.*** version, it worked in few of the cases.
Apple has addressed this issue. See the following thread with a link to the Xcode 14.0.1 Release Candidate. Open the .xip file and then the run Xcode.app within. I was able to build my app on a device with iOS 15.7. I believe you have to be a paid Apple Developer to open the link.

A few days ago, I was able to build an iOS app, which I'm working on using Xcode, on my iPhone but this morning when I tried to build and run the app, I get the error message below and cannot build the app now.
Please check the connection to the device, and review all errors in
the Devices and Simulators window.
I've already added my apple id in the account preferences and assigned the project to a team on the Signing & Capabilities pane of the project editor.
And this is the screenshot of the error in the Devices and Simulators window.
My Xcode version is 13.0 and iPhone is 14.7.1
I get the notification of "build succeed" but nothing shows up on my iPhone, so could anyone please tell me what should take a look at or what can I do next?

I had this problem today on my iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS 15.1 Xcode 13.1, restarts of the iPhone and Mac didn't help.
In the end I made sure that the paired Apple Watch was unlocked and trusted after that no more error and I was able to build to the iPhone.
I was running the latest version of iOS v15.3.1 and after hours of pain I found that the solution was to update Xcode to the latest version
I deleted deriveddata and it worked.
Try the following operations，it works for me
1、deleted deriveddata
2、Turn off the phone and turn it on again
iOS 15.6 beta:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-15_6-release-notes

Xcode 13.4 is unable to prepare iOS 15.6 beta devices for development. (93452791)
Workaround: Use Xcode 13.3.1.
Xcode 5 is behaving just fine, and I'm able to build and run apps on my iOS 7 device and in the iOS 7 simulator.
However, I do want to support iOS 6.1, but I don't see any way to build and run the apps for an iOS 6 simulator.
Things wot I've done:
Set Deployment Target to 6.1 for both Project and Target
Downloaded iOS 6 Simulator
Copied the iOS 6 SDK into Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/
Reset Content and Settings for the simulator
Originally, I was trying to see the app in the iOS 6 simulator by switching from iOS 7 to iOS 6 in the Hardware > Device menu in the iOS Simulator application, but there aren't any apps in the iOS 6 simulator.
I'm gathering from answers like this one that there should be something I can select before I click Build/Run.
I'd love to be able to see my apps in both iOS 6 and 7 simulators. Any ideas what I'm missing? Here's a LINK to what I see when I click on the simulator dropdown.
Turns out the solution was changing the deployment target for the project from iOS 6.1 to iOS 6.0, upon which the simulator scheme selection immediately showed the option to choose iOS 6 or 7 simulators. Basically the deployment target should match a simulator version that you have installed.
Thanks to random commenters in questions like this one who mentioned that that worked for them.
All you have to do is go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Choose the "Downloads" tab and install the iOS 6.0 Simulator.
Once you're done downloading it, it should show up as an option in your schemes.
Just a little caveat....I tried what you said but it didn't work for me...
Changed Deployment Target on "Project" from 7.1 to 6.0
Then I realised that Deployment Target was still set to 7.1 on the "Target" - once I changed that it worked!
Click to target or project > Build Settings > Achitecture > Supported Plateforms : change to iOS
What I did to get mine working was click on the scheme to the left of where the Simulators usually appear in the dropdown, then choose edit scheme.
A new window will display, make sure that Run is highlighted on the left and then click on the Info tab. Choose the .app file for Executable.
If you are still looking for a solution here's what worked for me:
From the xcode beta's pull down menus, Xcode > Open Developer Tool >
iOS Simulator (if you get a pop up error just dismiss it)
Once in the Simulator go to Hardware > Device > Manage Devices.
Delete everything listed under simulator.
Reboot your machine.
After that navigate back to Manage Devices in the simulator and click the plus to add back
your simulators. Then the iOS 8 simulators will show up.
This might help u out better..you have to copy paste iPhoneOS6.1sdk folder. This is for SDK, similarly instead of iPhoneOS.platform select iPhoneSimulator.platform and then the same path.
Please check whether your "Deployment Target" is higher than the ones available on your simulators.
Xcode5 neither has 6.0 SDK or 6.0 simulator. But what you can do is u can copy both 6.0SDK and 6.0 simulator from your previous Xcodes (xcode4.5 for 6.0 and XCode4.6 for ios6.1) You can find the simulator at /applications/xcode.app/contents/developer/platforms/iphonesimulator.platform/developer/applications/iphone simulator.app
And SDK at /applications/xcode.app/contents/developer/platforms/iphoneos.platform/devicesupport/6.0
Copy the entire folders for simulator and SDK in the exact same path of XCode5.
Note: to go the the Contents of Xcode.app just do a right click on the .app file and you will get an option"Show Contents".
Once u are done copy pasting, restart ur XCode5 and u can see 6.0/6.1 simulator as an option :)
Click on your project root.
Then Go to the Build settings.
Then set iOS deployment target 5.0
Then select iphone6 on top left of your project.

Solved restoring an older version of the xcodeproj file.
I recently installed a new OS X on my mac, and installed XCode on it. It provided me only with iOs 6.0 simulator ( and maybe only iPhone 5, I don't really know how to change the simulated device ).
I have a couple of problems I encountered when porting an iPhone 4 project to this XCode, and I want to see if the problem is caused because of new changes in iOS 6/iPhone 5 or simply the code is wrong.
For that reason I want to be able to run the simulator with iOs 4 / iPhone 4, But I can't find a way to do that.
Any suggestions?
In Xcode go to:
Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
then Download the Simulator you need.
First of all, you're able to have same iPhone simulators (iPhone 4, 5, 5s, etc) with different iOS version (8.1, 10.1, 11.2, etc).
For latest Xcode, there are couple ways to do that:
XCode -> Preference (Command + ,) -> Components. Then install your desired simulators. All other ways will eventually open this window.
Click on your active scheme (pic. 1) -> scroll down to the bottom of the selection pop up (pic. 2) -> click "Download Simulators..."
Window -> Devices and Simulators -> Tab Simulators -> Click plus sign on bottom left corner to open "Create a new simulator" pop up window -> click "OS version" selection -> chose "Download more simulator runtimes ...".
I think by installing the runtimes, Xcode will eventually install all iPhone version that support it, down to iPhone 5.
You could install all simulator sdks quickly by copying files of sdks from others who has installed them. The file is located at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/. For instance of me:
songxiaofeng#xserver:~$ cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/
songxiaofeng#xserver:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs$ ls
iPhoneSimulator5.0.sdk iPhoneSimulator5.1.sdk iPhoneSimulator6.0.sdk iPhoneSimulator6.1.sdk
After copy these files, restart your xcode, you will find these simulators. Good luck!
The way to do this in 2020 is to go to Xcode > Preferences > Components and click the download symbol on the versions you want to install.
I'm thinking of upgrading to iOS SDK 4.2. But what I'm wondering is if I'll still be able to run the simulator as iOS 3.2. This is because I'm creating iAds for iPad but I still want to check if my program will run with iOS 3.2.
Note: I have seen a similar post to this in the past, but they weren't really helpful in giving the exact steps in how this could be done.
To anyone else who finds this older question, you can now download all old versions.
Xcode -> Preferences -> Components (Click on Simulators tab).
Install all the versions you want/need.
To show all installed simulators:
Target -> In dropdown "deployment target" choose the installed version with lowest version nr.
You should now see all your available simulators in the dropdown.
XCODE 10.1
1. Goto Xcode -> Preferences (Shortcut CMD,)
2. Select Components
3. Download Simulator version
4. XCode -> Open Developer Tool -> Simulator This will launch Simulator as stand alone application
5 Hardware -> Device -> Manage Devices...
6. Click on + iCon to create new simulator version.
7. Specify Simulator Name, Device Type and Choose OS version from drop down.
8. Click Create.
9. Hardware -> Device -> iOS 11.0 -> iPhone 6
Thats it run enjoy coding!
If you have iAds in your binary you will not be able to run it on anything before iOS 4.0 and it will be rejected if you try and submit a binary like this.
You can still run the simulator from 3.2 onwards after upgrading.
In the iPhone Simulator try selecting Hardware -> Version -> 3.2
Xcode 14:
Xcode -> Preferences -> Platforms
Then click the + button
Open xcode and in the top menu go to xcode > Preferences > Downloads and you will be given the option to download old sdks to use with xcode. You can also download command line tools and Device Debugging Support.
In XCode under Targets, right-click on your project and Get Info. Under the Build tab look for iOS Deployment Target. By changing this you should be able to test different iOS version.
I was searching for how to do this on a much newer version of xcode than the original question and while the answers here got me where I needed to go, they aren't quite accurate for location anymore. Xcode 11.3.1, you need to go into Preferences -> Components, then select the desired Simulators. You can also select tvOS and watchOS similators from the same window.
To add previous iOS simulator to Xcode 4.2, you need old xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg (or similar version) installer file and do as following:
Mount the xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg file
Open mounting disk image and choose menu: Go->Go to Folder...
Type /Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Packages/ then click Go. There are many packages and find to iPhoneSimulatorSDK(version).pkg
Double click to install package you want to add and wait for installer displays.
In Installer click Continue and choose destination, Choose folder...
Explorer shows and select Developer folder and click Choose
Install and repeat with other simulator as you need.
Restart Xcode.
Now there are a list of your installed simulator.
Choosing older simulator versions is not obvious in Xcode 3.2.5. Older Xcodes had separate lists of "iOS Device SDKs" and "iOS Simulator SDKs" in the "Base SDK" build setting popup menu, but in Xcode 3.2.5 these have been replaced with a single "iOS SDKs" list that only offers 4.2 and "latest".
If you create a new default iOS project, it defaults to 4.2 for both Base SDK and Deployment Target, and in the "Overview" popup in the project's top-left corner, only the 4.2 Simulator is available.
To run an older iOS simulator, you must choose an older iOS version in the "iOS Deployment Target" build setting popup. Only then will the "Overview" popup offer older Simulators: back to 4.0 for iPhone and to 3.2 for iPad.
Xcode (14.1v) -> Settings -> Platforms -> + Icon
The simulator CANNOT be downloaded from:
Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
Only the iOS devices symbols. As this option says:
This package includes information and symbols that Xcode needs for
debugging your app on iOS devices running versions of iOS prior to iOS
4.2. If you intend to debug your app on a device running one of these versions of iOS you should install this package.
That is, you need an iOS 4.2 device to test an iOS 4.2 application
